Question

That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it as all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.
Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who speaks of her students “so passive” and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who've never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying  'go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”
Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good. It's time to start telling them no again.

Answer 1

ADC
1.A 推理題。根據(jù)第三段4,5行內(nèi)容Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity.可知看電視是引起學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)被動的一個主要原因。
2.Ｄ猜測句意題。根據(jù)橫線后面得in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school指在這段時期里，讓孩子做他們想做的事情。故Ｄ正確。
3.C 主旨大意題。文章在第三段中提及父母為孩子做了太多的事情，放任孩子自由，導(dǎo)致孩子沒有受到挫折的打擊，所以應(yīng)該對孩子有更高的要求。故C正確。
